Shelters are my first place to look, especially with dogs. Sadly, I couldn't find the dog I wanted there. I was pretty limited with my choices, had to be good with young kids, and had to be a bichon, maltese, or poodle because my mom is allergic to dogs. Plus, she only wants 'lap' dogs.

Who has time to buy, too many strays around here. All Rescues in this household.

i would choose to rescue right after I get a toller only because there aren't many tollers in shelters, but if there was one I'd take it over a breeders dog!

I've never purchased a dog from a breeder in my life. Now Julie and Angel did cost us something as they were shelter dogs. Blackfoot was given to us. And make and J.W. are Angels pups.

Everydog I've ever had, from the time I was a baby till now, has been from a shelter!!!

Everydog for the rest of my life will be from a shelter!

That's exactly how I feel about Tito!

All my pets my whole life have been rescues, with the exception of our bunnies. Those we got from a breeder. Oh, and my fish.

Of all the dogs I have had (lots) Merlin is the only one I have bought from a breeder. We have 2 rescue dogs now and 3 rescue cats well 2 picked us.

All my critters have been throw aways and they've all been great. The only one I had that I actually bought was my Blue Front Amazon Parrot who I had for over 20 yrs and passed on to RB sept 23, 2002 and she is still greatly missed, she lived through my kids teen years and the first couple grandkids.

I've got a few rescues myself, both Squeekers and Misty are rescues. Of my rabbits, Jack (and my RB buns Hopper and Floppy, and guinea pig Rusty) were all rescued.

Shelter dogs deserve alot more...

[chrissycat21]

Yes! Sadly, I don't have any rescues at my house. But the next pets I get will be from a shelter.

Most of my pets have been 'strays' who have picked me or my family to grow up with. So my answer is:

YES YES YES OF COURSE HECK YES!!!!
